Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars
Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars combine a classic cookie's charm with the ease of a bar. They’re perfectly spiced, soft, and utterly addictive.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Topping
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9 baking dis with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar for about 2 minutes. Add in eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Beat just until dough comes together.
- Pour cookie dough into bottom of prepared baking dish. Using your hands (or the bottom of a cup), press the dough evenly into the bottom of the dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the topping of cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over the top of the cookie dough (it may seem like a lot, but it's worth it)!
- Bake cookie bars for 22-26 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely in pan. Cut into bars and enjoy.
Notes
- Store cookie bars in airtight container for up to one week.
- Freeze cookie bars in freezer safe container for up to three months.
- Why use cream of tartar? Cream of tartar gives snickerdoodles their unique flavor and chewy texture. If you don't have any on hand, swap it out for 2 teaspoons baking powder instead.
- Make it over the top by adding a drizzle of vanilla icing or melted white chocolate!
